Silliness-do you have a car or a friend with one? Cars come with jacks.

Other routes to take are having a friend lift up on the front, and propping it up somehow (I've been creative with 6X6's)

Hanging it from the rafters or some other higher thing.

Wait for a wrench day.



Where are you located?

You could do this at my place while I'm wrenching on bikes tomorrow....

Tigre: Thanks for the offer. I'm still waiting on the rotors (and new pads) to come in the mail, so I can't make it tomorrow. They should both be here by next weekend, though.

I have a front and rear stand you can borrow. I live in the inner Sunset. Just let me know when you want to come grab it. PM me or drop me a note at dan_dainese@hotmail.com.

I've got a fairly complete shop down in the garage. And, seeing as my boss said not to come into work until my back is fixed, I'll have a lot of time on my hands.

Just let me know. [thumbsup]

get a 2 2 x 6's pieces of wood. cut them so you have a section removed that matches you pipe and then put a jack under it all.

the best method is always to use an engine hoist to just lift the bike up or hold.
